APPEAL OFFICE,


TUESDAY KvENISe, August 2, 1871
Money continues very firm at S.per
sent. The stock call board session to.
day was featureless, and no sales were
recorded.
The local cotton market closed dull
and unchanged.
At New Orleans spots were dull and
unchanged; futures closed steady, of
4 points on August, points of on
September and 7 to Spoints Of on
new crop months.
The Liverpool market was steady,
poor demand for spots, and futures
closed quiet.
New York spots closed unchanged
and quiet, and futures closed 4diet
and steady; august declined IA points
and September IL. The new crop
months were CT II to IS points.
O. L, Greene & Co.'s report OF the
%, on cotton iu,ures, says; "There
was considerable animation, with the
general tone easier and prices aver.
aging lower oil round. The buying
and covering orders on new crop were
generally lighter and the desire to sell
greater, the latter being due TO more
favorable weather reports from the
cotton belt and a weakness on the
Southern market, coupled with some
disappointment over the tenor oil sd-
vices from Liverpool. Old crop was
also tame and lower, but il looked as
though August options were not much
under regulations at the moment
and simply auc,usted with the new
crop. August lost IL points, and the
later months about the same, with q
recovery Of points asd some show Of
